Low GI ingredients make
better meals
Glycaemic Index (GI) is a number assigned
to a particular food or ingredient that
measures the way it will impact one’s blood
sugar levels upon eating. Using at least
one low GI food at every meal may lead to
more stable blood sugar levels, an easier to
control appetite and more stable weight.
Moreover, when combined with high GI
food, the glycaemic value of the total meal
may become lower.
Low GI ingredients
featured in the recipes
worth switching to:
• Brown Basmati Rice
• Legumes and beans
• Wholemeal grains and pasta
• Most fruits and vegetables
Controlling food portions
While GI values serve as a guide in choosing
the food to eat, Ms Bhaskaran also reminded
the participants to watch how much they
eat. Portion control is another way to help
manage blood sugar (and waistlines). The
amount and type of food to eat can be
worked out best with a dietitian to suit
individual requirements, eating style and
medication prescribed.
